Also, what router are you using?
if you are using netgear, use this tutorial to try to connect to your router when wired:
If You Cannot Log on to Your Router
If it prompts you for a password, and you haven't set one up, use the default: Default Password for NETGEAR Devices
(if you are using something else like linksys or belkin, there are tutorials for these steps online comparable to these)
After you get in to the router settings page, you can either reset it to default settings or look for "allowed devices" and make sure connections are allowed from any device (or if you prefer, add the mac address of the laptop you are trying to add)
Not sure if this is your problem (router only allowing certain machines access) or not, but wanted to post just in case.
